Ten years after it was founded, Metal: Hellsinger studio The Outsiders is closing. The news was delivered by studio founder and creative director David Goldfarb, who said in a message posted to Bluesky that the studio has fallen victim to the Funcom layoffs announced last week.
"I have not had much time to process the news but all of us at The Outsiders and Funcom Stockholm have been affected by the layoffs at Funcom and our 10-year-old studio will be closing," Goldfarb wrote. "Many of us had survived a near-death studio experience years back when Darkborn was cancelled, and because of this team's loyalty and refusal to quit, Metal: Hellsinger was born. It will always be a high point for me personally and I will be forever grateful we got to make it and for the wonderful team and partnerships that made it happen."
